Mitsumi Distribution has announced a partnership with Dell Technologies that is expected to increase artificial intelligence application in various sectors of the economy.
The two tech giants plan to avail innovative workshops that will help drive the uptake of AI particularly in the health sector.
Mitsumi Distribution Director Rajveer Shah said in a bid to bolster Africa’s AI capabilities, they have recruited skilled data scientists and engineers to offer training on AI and its applications in Kenya.
“Mitsumi Distribution is dedicated to harnessing AI to drive transformation across various sectors in Africa, including healthcare, financial services, governance, public services, and more. We are poised to deploy our expertise and resources to assist industries in embracing AI and unlocking its full potential,” said Shah.
Key players in the health sector including hospitals and healthcare service providers have acknowledged AI’s transformative capacity in enhancing disease detection, optimizing processes, and ultimately elevating patient care standards.
Chief Technology Officer overseeing Dell Technologies’ Healthcare & Life sciences sector in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa Arshad Farhad disclosed a range of AI technologies, with a focus on Generative Artificial Intelligence.
“The purpose of AI is to enhance the capabilities of clinicians and enhance clinical outcomes, rather than supplanting them,” he said.
Farhad also highlighted the essential skill sets needed, the privacy concerns, and underscored the transformative impact these technologies could have on both Kenya’s and Africa’s healthcare system.
